2.4.21-rc8-laptop1

Updated patches: swsusp, supermount, agpgart, drm, broadcom New patches: acpi4asus, laptop_mode, sis-fb

Patch: acpi-20030523 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi)
The ACPI in current kernels is very outdated. Most laptops won't have any Powermanagement without the ACPI-Patch and some even won't boot.

Patch: swsusp-1.0_pre7 (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp) Software Suspend makes hibernation possible in linux, which is a very important feature for laptops.

Patch: supermount-1.2.7 (http://supermount-ng.sf.net)
Supermount is a useful feature for desktop-pcs.

Patch: agpgart from 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 (www.kernel.org) Laptops with the Centrino chipset need this for working agpgart, which is needed for hardware graphics acceleration (dri).

Patch: drm modules from 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 (www.kernel.org) This update is needed for proper working dri in XFree 4.3.

Patch: radeonfb from Benjamin Herrenschmidt (rsync -avz rsync.penguinppc.org::benh-devel/) Radeon 9000 won't work with radeonfb found in the current kernel.

Patch: bcm4400-2.0.2 + bcm5700-6.0.2 driver (from broadcom-ftp) Needed for Broadcom Network cards found in many laptops.

Patch: vivicam usb mass storage support (from Lycoris-Kernel) Needed for Vivicam 355 (working as USB mass storage).

Patch: acpi4asus-0.23 (www.sf.net/projects/acpi4asus) Adds support for special acpi-events on asus-laptops.

Patch: laptop_mode (www.sf.net/projects/swsusp)
Adds laptop_mode, which can save battery power.

Patch: SiS framebuffer update (www.winischhofer.net) Needed for some SiS-Cards.

Patch: Optimization for pentium3/4 (trivial)
Makes gcc3-optimizations for pentium3/4 possible.
(Note: pentium4-optimizations should only be used with gcc 3.2.3 and above. If you have an older gcc, please use pentium3.)

Hi!

This has nothing to do with the laptop patch, these defines are really missing from include/linux/pci_ids.h.

In -rc5 I just removed the line from the .c file that referenced the missing ID, and it works very well...

Maybe this is a bug ;)

Zod.

ah... so I see.

Yeah, looks like, or something that wasn't entirely merged. Commenting those out gets me further, but then it fails in:

Something related to the i830 stuff someone else reported problems with?
